Welcome to Communities In Schools
of San Antonio!

Communities In Schools, Inc., the nation's largest dropout prevention organization, announced today that it has received a four-star rating from Charity Navigator -- the leading nonprofit analysts -- for sound fiscal management. This distinction is awarded to only a quarter of the organizations Charity Navigator evaluates. The rating was given to Communities In Schools for its ability to "efficiently manage and grow its finances."

With a continued movement toward increased accountability in the nonprofit sector, donors are demanding that organizations show unprecedented transparency and quantifiable results to justify their contributions. Communities In Schools works in partnership with 16,000 organizations to leverage community resources. And 49,000 volunteers allow CIS staff to provide more students with an increased level of service. In total, 94 percent of CIS's labor force is non-paid volunteers.

Profiled in the New York Times, NPR, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Charity Navigator uses data-driven analysis to evaluate ten times more charities than their competitors. Data shows that its users give more than they planned to before viewing its findings. Last year, Charity Navigator users gave over $3 billion in charitable gifts.
